As the BBC have now discovered a £800 million hole in their pension fund and want the license payer to pay for it I'm seriously considering throwing the TV out. The majority or their programmes are very poor quality now imho and News 24 is riddled with political bias and what I call "news creation".
Is it any wonder when expenses include such things as paying newsreaders £80k p.a. - just to read out the same A4 pages over and over all day long - and why does it take two of them to do it. Hordes of reporters and crew jetting off all over the place on what in many cases are little more than junkets.
I could easil;y do without the once-great BBC. RT seems to be more unbiassed that any other news channel just now.
Is there any legal way to rx TV stations that do not need pay the BBC for the privilege? Sat. dish decoder to usb to PC maybe? Probably not but just to ask. I would happily donate the licence fee to charity. I just don't want the fat-cats at the Beeb getting it.
Rant off. Thanks for reading.
